chumbo??

Alguien sabe que es un chumbo??

Hola amayo,

¿Dónde escuchaste la frase? Entiendo que chumbo en la yerga se llama a un arma, revolver o pistola. Si tenes más contexto mejor.

Gracias PIM!! Que chumbo es un arma tiene sentido en el contexto que lo escuche :)

efectivamente, un chumbo es un arma de fuego. chumbar también es una forma coloquial de decir "ladrar" (to bark, not related to "ladrón"). also, in football (soccer for you my gringo friend), chumbar is to kick the ball really hard (the argie equivalent of a fastball, maybe?)

No....like a cat does. Chumbo is slang for a gun. Kind of like the slang term in English, "Burner."

Es una palabra que deriva del "lunfardo", una jerga originada en Buenos Aires. Significa revólver o pistola. Esta jerga era utilizada por delincuentes y gente de clase baja. Hay todo un diccionario de lunfardo y se pueden encontrar miles de palabras de este tipo.

I wouldn't really say you answered my question chris.r but I´ll give you an A for effort!

Soy de Puerto Rico y acá "chumbo" significa otra cosa. Una persona "chumbo" o "chuma" es aquella que no tiene mucho trasero o nalgas. Por ejemplo: "Diana es bien chumba."

Ah ciertamente Diana, ese uso de "chumba" me sonaba de un tema de Calle 13.

Sí, Calle 13 y todos los intérpretes de música urbana como rel "Reggaeton" usan muchísimo lenguage coloquial. Con las letras de sus canciones "hay mucha tela de donde cortar"!

haha... so "Diana es bien chumba" means Diana has a small butt?

Well, not small.I should have said "flat." Chumbo or chumba = flat butt

I see. That's very interesting. Thanks for clearing that up for me. I'll be sure to use chumba carefully as not to offend anyone.

Just learned something new. Chumba for flat.
